Hi friends! Long time no post
I have two Apollo 13 BX's (started from seed- 2 girls, 3 boys) on day 45 of flowering. Growing hydro (DWC) indoors, in a tent. Lighting is a SolarStorm 400 (bloom mode) and nutrients are Technaflora.
There are two issues I am hoping that 420'ers can help me with:
-Each plant is expressing a different phenotype. I thought maybe if I described the plants a bit someone might recognize the phenos.
-One plant has strange round, pure white, tightly-packed cottony-looking buds. They look strange enough that I thought it was worth asking if they're normal.
NOTE: My white cottony buds are not related to a pest problem. I did locate this other 420mag post but it describes something completely different- I do not have pests: White cotton looking substance in bud
I apologize that the photos are taken against the very, very red flowering lamp. If I have to, I can blast them with a mag light and take photos with better color.
OK! Plant One is tall with a single, very sativa-looking main cola:
Plant two is shorter with a stubby main cola that is composed of pure white buds that resemble tightly-packed cotton:
Again, I know it's difficult to view this in such tinted light but you'll notice that light striking the 'green' plant parts appears almost black, and light striking white parts (such as my cottony buds) shows violet. This way you can see that the white buds appear to be without the little sugar leaves that usually 'wrap' the bud.
Are these superwhite buds normal? I have only done three grows to completion so I have no experience with this particular bud structure. Maybe it's a trait belonging to a specific phenotype?
Thanks for any help!
